Like many modern love stories, ours started with a swipe on Tinder. We had originally planned to meet up with some friends, but there was a small problem dates are not exactly our strong suit. Because of a mix-up, one of us accidentally invited a complete stranger to the apartment… which meant the other ended up heading to a stranger’s place. Somehow, despite the confusion, we still decided to meet up and we’re really glad we did. Our first hangout quickly turned into an adventure. We made a trip to Walmart to grab ingredients and cooked dinner together, then headed to King Pins where some impressive bowling skills were shown off. There was even a victory at the claw machine that resulted in a stuffed toilet paper plushie. We ended up enjoying each other’s company so much that our hangout turned into an unexpected sleepover, followed by staying up way too late binge-watching movies. The next day naturally turned into a Chipotle date, and after that we just couldn’t get enough of each other. One of the funniest early moments happened the very first time we met in person, when someone confidently introduced himself to the cat and announced that he was going to be her new dad. Luckily, the cat seemed to approve. Later on, when we moved into our first apartment together, we decided our little family needed to grow and adopted another cat. When it came time for the proposal, a whole day was planned around favorite activities, and we even dressed up for the occasion. The final activity of the night was an arts and crafts session where we made clay Pokémon. There was a very determined attempt to convince someone to stay in their nice outfit, but pajamas won that battle. When the finished creations were compared, one of the Pokémon had a ring on it and that’s when craft night unexpectedly turned into a propasal
